Having lots of errors signing into various accounts when I was trying to find what server to call home... got my lemmy.world account and beehaw to work, but no luck with kbin.social...
Other than that, works pretty well. Obviously a long way off the gloriousness of Apollo, but not so far off that I'd rather stick with a web shortcut. Seeing a lot of image previews turned into 🔗 instead of showing thumbs, and so many sites now rejecting access due to the use of a VPN... but that's more a web problem than a Memmy prob I suppose.
Feature-request-wise, it would also be nice to see a more customizable feed that could hook into any combination of my various accounts with a tier-style prioritization on which account to load a subscription when a particular subscription exists across those accounts.
Exciting times either way!
kbin is federated with lemmy (and mastadon) but it is actually its own software with its own (unfinished) API.
One of the Memmy devs here - We don't support kbin (they don't have an API). Did you have issues with signing into any Lemmy instances specifically?
I got a couple of errors on some others like Beehaw at first, but it worked after a couple of tries. I figured it was just due to the rapid rise of your app's popularity! Congrats and thanks also for the reply! Sorry for being a goof on kbin... I am still a relative new reddit refugee who had been looking for a new place to be before Memmy came along.
Oh yea you might get some issues with beehaw because they are defederated from other instances. Glad you are enjoying the app and figuring out the fediverse though! :)
I went Lemmy.ml because it doesn't require an email address. I had 10's of Reddit accounts that I'd cycle through on different VPNs and only use certain ones on certain devices in the name of Internet anonymity. Giving up an email address (even one that's purely for junk mail) defeats the anonymity.
Lemmy being open source and relatively transparent means any bad actor with access would have a ton of info on me, even if it's just my habits, voting tendencies, and comments/posts. That's not info I want to give out.
If you only want to manage 2 accounts (e.g. here and beehaw) Liftoff handles it pretty well.
